How to Make Mrs Bush's Hot Chocolate

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Add 2 cups of milk (whole milk recommended for richness) to the saucepan.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sugar and cocoa powder are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Continue heating, stirring occasionally, until the hot chocolate is heated through and just about to simmer (do not boil).
  6. Remove from heat and mix very well.
  7. Pour into a warm mug. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, and a pinch of finely grated orange zest.
